Jordan's newest guidebooks, Pacific Crest Trail: Northern California and Pacific Crest Trail: Oregon and Washington, are the result of Summers' 4,000-plus miles trekking this national treasure. Jordan's passion for the outdoors and love for the Sierra Nevada range combined to propel his motivation in writing guidebooks: "to help hikers of all abilities get out there, have a great time out there, leave no trace there, and come home safely from there." Summers is an alumnus of the National Outdoor Leadership School, a Leave No Trace trainer, and a NOLS-WMI Wilderness First Responder. Jordan lives in the Sierra Nevada foothill town of Pioneer, California, and is a volunteer for the Tahoe Rim Trail Association and the Pacific Crest Trail Association.
